Class Scheduling & Level Placement

Q: What happens if no class slot is available for a student's preferred time?

The automation flags the student for manual review and suggests alternative times or levels. Your coordinator then decides whether to offer a waitlist spot or recommend a different schedule.

Q: Can instructors still make changes to their schedules after a student is placed?

Yes. If an instructor updates their availability, the automation detects conflicts and alerts your coordinator to reassign the student before the class starts.

Q: Will the automation work with our existing spreadsheets and CRM?

The automation connects directly to your spreadsheets, forms, email, and student database. No data migration is required; it reads and updates your existing tools.

Q: What happens if a student disputes their placement level?

Disputes are flagged for your coordinator to review manually. The automation does not re-run the assessment; your team makes the final decision and updates the student's record.

Students land in the right class from day one, without coordinators juggling spreadsheets and placement tests by hand.
